Bill overview
The Utility Disconnection Protection Act of 2025 aims to protect District residents from utility shut-offs during extreme weather months (May 15 - September 15 and November 1 - February 29). It requires utility companies to offer payment plans, limit reconnection fees, and report disconnection data to the Public Service Commission. The bill also defines ‘protected households’ to include vulnerable residents like seniors, children, and those with disabilities, building on previous COVID-19 protections.
